Yuki: All ready. The costumes are perfect.

Tenma: I didn’t expect all of us to be told to appear in the spin-off…

Kumon: I’m super stoked though!

Yuki: It’s better for Washimiya to have lots of foils, isn’t it?

Izumi: Washimiya-san, use your carrot and stick to pull everyone along, alright?

Yuki: Of course. I’m going to work them to the bone.

Izumi: Fufu, sounding dependable! Alright, let’s start filming.

-pause-

Akiyama [Kumon]: “Line up!”

All members: “Thank you very much!”

Izumi: (All the members begin cleaning up and maintaining the grounds. Washimiya starts putting away the equipment.)

Akiyama [Kumon]: “I was told they’re fine with the clean-up over there, so I’m gonna help out over here.”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “Thanks. That helps.”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “Say, how’s everyone doing these days from your point-of-view?”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “I suppose you’re all looking better than the beginning.” “But you’ve only gotten better. We need to keep improving everyone’s abilities from here on out.” “That includes you, of course.”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “…Got it! I feel like we’ll be able to make it to nationals if we’re with you, Washimiya-san.”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “Don’t feel it. We’re going.”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “…So, Washimiya-san—"

Washimiya [Yuki]: “Hm?”

Izumi: (Akiyama seems to be asking something. However, Ono then interrupts them.)

Ono [Muku]: “Ah, here you two are.” “It sounds like it’s going to rain tomorrow, so we might have to take practice indoors.”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “Got it. Thanks, Ono.”

Ono [Muku]: “No problem! Don’t even mention it!”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “Alright, if it rains tomorrow, how about we crank up the muscle training regime?”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “I know it’s important to bulk up, but please don’t go overboard…”

Ono [Muku]: “She’s harsh as ever. But Washimiya-san’s cute saying it with such a happy look on her face…”

-pause-

Izumi: (The next day… it rained, just like Ono said it would. The baseball club is practicing inside.)

Enomoto [Kazunari]: “Since it’s pouring today, can’t we do a light workout and head home early!?”

Uehara [Misumi]: “I’ll do as much muscle training as I can, but…”

Inoue [Tenma]: “You know there’s no way Washimiya’s gonna let us off with a light workout.”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “Ahahaha…”

Ono [Muku]: “Just because it’s true doesn’t mean you should say it…”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “Thanks for waiting, guys.”

Enomoto [Kazunari]: “Not at all! Don’t worry ‘bout it. Anyways, looking cute today as always, Washimiya-san~.”

Uehara [Misumi]: “Her smile is dazzling…”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “I came up with a muscle training regime for all of you today.” “Even though everyone’s gradually improving, your strength and endurance still vary.” “Here you go. Take a look at all of your menus.”

Enomoto [Kazunari]: “Lemme see~… woah, there’s quite a lot here, isn’t there!?”

Inoue [Tenma]: “Ugh… this menu doesn’t pull any punches either.”

Uehara [Misumi]: “I think I’ll get more and more into muscle training when I think about the fact Washimiya-san made this just for me.”

Ono [Muku]: “It looks like I’ll be able to train a lot. But I’m worried whether I can handle it…”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “…By the way, I forgot an umbrella today.” “The guy who finishes their workout first gets to go home while sharing an umbrella with me.”

Enomoto [Kazunari]: “Seriously!? I feel motivated all of a sudden!”

Ono [Muku]: “I’ll try my best, Washimiya-san!”

Uehara [Misumi]: “I’ll be sure to finish first…!”

Inoue [Tenma]: “Those guys really don’t care whether she has a boyfriend or not, huh?”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “It looks like it…”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “If that gives them a source of motivation, then it’s fine.”

-pause-

Akiyama [Kumon]: “99… 100!” “*Pant, pant*… finished!”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “Good job. What do you know, Akiyama finished first. Even you can do it sometimes.”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “Sometimes… well, whatever.”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “It looks like the other members are still going to take a while. Let’s wait a bit.”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “Got it. …I thought this as I was working out and watching everyone. It’s just like you said, Washimiya-san—all of us are getting stronger.” “We’re taking it one step at a time, but I feel like we’re getting closer to nationals.”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “…Hey, by the way. Weren’t you saying something to me yesterday?”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “Huh?”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “It was back when we were chatting about nationals while cleaning up.”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “Ahh… right.” “You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to, but I just wanted to ask what nationals means to you.” “I mean, you’ve been saying you’re aiming for nationals from the very start, right?”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “What nationals means to me, huh…” “I’m sure it’s no different from any other high school baseball player.” “Nationals is the one and only stage of dreams for high school baseball players. It’s simply the same for me as well.” “The day my father took me to watch nationals when I was a kid…” “My heart was pounding at the passionate battles between the players and the cheers that resounded through the air.” “I decided when I was little… that I wouldn’t forget that passion, and I would also go there one day.” “That’s why I’m your manager now. That’s all there is to it. …See. Nothing different, right?”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “…Yeah, it’s no different. But in that case, you should’ve went to a stronger school…”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “Well, there were some things I didn’t expect when I joined this baseball team. But pushing your team to the top by yourself is also interesting.” “In any case, I’ve decided I’m going to nationals with this team.”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “Washimiya-san… Yeah. Let’s make it to nationals!”

Enomoto [Kazunari]: “Hah, hah, hah. Done… err, you’re finished already, Akki!?”

Uehara [Misumi]: “Geh, Akiyama took first place…”

Enomoto [Kazunari]: “We worked our butts off though~!”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “Good job, everyone! You guys hit it out of the park.”

Inoue [Tenma]: “It really did help improve their motivation.”

Akiyama [Kumon]: “I finished my workout first, but I’m fine. If someone else wants to go home with Washimiya-san, then feel free.”

Ono [Muku]: “A-are you sure!?”

Uehara [Misumi]: “Alright!”

Enomoto [Kazunari]: “Akki! Thanks, bud! If that’s cool with you, then let’s decide fair and square over rock-paper-scissors!”

Uehara [Misumi]: “Bring it on.”

Ono [Muku]: “I wanna go home under one umbrella with Washimiya-san…! I hope I win!”

Enomoto [Kazunari]: “Here goes! One, two!”

Enomoto & Ono & Uehara: “Rock, paper, scissors! And again! And again!”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “…Ah, I got a message on my phone. It sounds like my boyfriend’s coming over to pick me up. I gotta go.”

Ono [Muku]: “EH!? What about sharing the umbrella!?”

Washimiya [Yuki]: “I guess on another rainy day? Anyways, see you.” “By the way, you’re supposed to do the workout menu today, every day.”

Enomoto [Kazunari]: “S-say it ain’t so~!”

Enomoto & Ono & Uehara: “WASHIMIYA-SAAAN!!”

-pause-

*hits*

Tenma: Are you kidding me…!

Kazunari: Nice batting, Kumopi!

Kumon: Awww yeah!!

Muku: Ahaha. That’s certainly Kyu-chan for you.

Misumi: Amazing, amazing~! You’re so cool, Kumon! High five!

Kumon: Yay!

Tenma: Phew. Should we take a short break now?

Muku: Sure.

Yuki: Here. I prepared drinks.

Kazunari: Thanks, fam~! Phew, that hits the spot~. I’m coming back to life~!

Misumi: Hey, hey. Won’t you play some baseball, Yuki~?

Yuki: No thanks. It’s hot.

Kumon: Eh~. Even after all the effort you put into your passionate performance for First Crush Baseball~.

Yuki: …I feel like I can understand the current Washimiya better by watching over everyone like this.

Muku: ? Did you say something, Yuki-kun?

Yuki: …Nope, nothing.
